MANCHESTER CITY have been slapped with a fine after they lost their temper during a 3-3 draw with Tottenham.
Many of the Treble-winning stars like Erling Haaland surrounded referee Simon Hooper after he blew too early for a foul while Jack Grealish was through on goal.
The Norwegian striker was knocked over on the half way line by Emerson Royal but managed to pick himself up and pass to his team-mate racing towards the net.
But the official did not play the advantage and instead pulled the game back for a foul, sparking fury amongst the City players.
Haaland completely lost his rag and sprinted towards Hooper shouting at him.
At full-time, he then stormed off the pitch and was involved in an altercation with Spurs players.
